Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between breathing and respiration?
Breathing is just the physical process of taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide, whereas respiration is a chemical process where cells break down food to release energy.
Why do we need a transport system in our body?
Our body needs a transport system like blood to carry oxygen, digested food, and water to all cells, and to remove waste products like carbon dioxide away from them.
What are the main organs of excretion in humans?
The main organs of excretion in humans are the kidneys, which filter waste from the blood to form urine, along with the lungs, skin, and liver.
